Other Initiatives

• To reduce the amount of students driving on campus, Williams does not provide first year students with parking spaces, with the hope that students will become accustomed to walking or biking around campus and carpooling off campus.
  
  
• The Williams Motor Coach is available to pool rides for students to nearby airports during vacation times.
  
  
• All new buildings include bike racks to encourage students, faculty, and staff to bike around campus. In addition, College Security will be using bikes more often in the 2008-2009 academic year to get around campus.
  
  
• Williams Students Online includes a section where students can both request and offer rides (e.g. Williamstown to the Albany airport) to encourage carpooling longer distances.
  
  
• During the 2007/2008 academic year, students involved in the Williams Center for Community Engagement tutoring program have been utilizing school buses that are already en route to the local high school, eliminating the need for a college vehicle.
